Requests for ProposalsCITY OF ANN ARBOR

Development of City-Owned PropertyRFP - No. 743

OUR COMMUNITY: Arbor has it all. The seventh largest city in Michigan has a vibrant bustling downtown, a diverse population drawn to work or study at the world-renowned University of Michigan (U of M), and the

natural beauty of an urban setting with a thousand acres of parkland. This is a highly educated workforce, as 33 percent of city residents hold a college or graduate degree. Many hundreds of thousands of tourists come to Ann Arbor every year to take advantage of the many annual festivals, internationally-known musicians and performers, U of M sporting events and more. The presence of the University of Michigan helps to shape the identity of Ann Arbor, not only because of the 30,000 people who work at the Univer-sity, but also the rhythm of the year and the outstanding museums and performing arts venues providing a crowded calendar of events. The city’s economy is dominated by higher education, high tech and biotechnology, and these sectors continue to get stronger. Average homes prices are well above the state median, and the school district is one of the best in Michigan. Downtown Ann Arbor is made vibrant by a strong and diverse business mix, including a wealth of indepen-dently owned unique businesses, and an array of restaurant choices. There is a very active Downtown Development Authority and Local Development Financing Authority at work in the downtown, continually reinvesting millions of dollars into infrastructure and services for emerging high tech businesses. Over the past five years the City of Ann Arbor invested a great deal of time helping its community establish a future vision for the downtown, and then developing new zoning that encourages greater residential density and strengthens the mixes of uses in the downtown. This initiative (known as “Ann Arbor Discovering Downtown” or A2D2) provides direction for the redevelopment of the City-owned parcel known as the “Library Lot.” Opportunity: The City is seeking creative pro-posals for the development of an approximate 1.2 acre lot owned by the City. The site is located at 319 S. Fifth Avenue, within the Downtown Development Authority District. The site is located just two blocks from the Main Street Business District and three blocks from State Street Business District, and the University of Michigan Central Campus. The successful proposal will be consistent with the community character of Ann Arbor and make positive

contributions to the immediate neighborhood, and the larger community by incorporating elements such as pub-licly accessible open space, green building design, public art, and a financial return to the city while adding to the vibrancy of the city’s central downtown. In spring 2010, the City will begin construction of an underground parking structure on the site. The parking structure was designed to allow for future construction of a building or buildings on top of the structure. This RFP is seeking creative proposals for development on top of the parking structure at this site.

Qualifications: To be considered, the develop-ment team must have demonstrated experience in design and successful completion of urban infill development projects and provide a creative and responsive proposal that addresses the site development objectives outlined in Section 1 of the RFP. Additionally, the team must have experience with projects that entail on-going public-private partnerships, community engagement in the design & dem-onstrated significant positive impact on the community.

SECTION 1

PROPOSAL BACKGROUND AND SCOPE OF PROJECT

Purpose The City of Ann Arbor is seeking creative proposals for the development of a City-owned parcel of land, located at 319 S. Fifth Avenue, within a thriving downtown district and just blocks of the University of Michigan Central Campus. In spring 2010, the City will begin construction of an underground parking structure on the site. The parking structure was designed to allow for future construction of a building or buildings on top of the structure. The City of Ann Arbor is requesting innovative proposals for the development on the site, on top of the underground parking structure. Due to community expectations for a high quality project, this section has been devoted to provide some insight into the City of Ann Arbor, and to describe the site development objectives to be addressed in this project. Submitted proposals that do not adequately address each of these objectives may not be considered. Overview of the City of Ann Arbor The City of Ann Arbor, with a population of just over 114,000 encompasses 27 square miles. Ann Arbor is home to one of the leading Universities in the country, University of Michigan, which provides the city with a distinct university-town atmosphere. Due to the world renowned University of Michigan and University of Michigan Hospitals and the City’s emphasis on environmental protection, education, parks and recreation, and the arts, the City of Ann Arbor has received numerous national awards for being one of the best places to live in the United States and has been regarded as one of the “Top-Rated Mid-sized Metro (No. 5, Bizjournals, 2009 list), “Best Place to Raise your Kids” (Business Week Magazine, 2009 list), “Healthiest Hometown in the United States” (No. 1, AARP The Magazine), “The 20 Best Places to Retire” (No. 3, Black Enterprise Magazine, 2008), and “100 Best Places to Live and Launch 2008” (No. 42, Fortune Small Business), among others. Below outlines a sampling of what Ann Arbor offers its residents and visitors that contribute to the high quality of life that has earned the City national recognition. Businesses: The University of Michigan has a significant impact on the City’s economy and employs around 30,000, including 7,500 in the medical center. National businesses, such as Borders Group, Inc., and Domino’s Pizza Company also have their headquarters located in Ann Arbor. Toyota Motor Company recently opened the Toyota Technical Center of Ann Arbor. Furthermore, after completing a national search of where to locate, in 2005, Google Inc. opened up a new office in Ann Arbor and currently employs about 250 people. There are approximately 1,200 businesses located in downtown Ann Arbor, a wide array of services, government offices, and recreational facilities. Parkland and Recreation: The city’s “Tree Town” nickname stems from its extensive park system and tree-lined residential neighborhoods. Parkland accounts for 2,059 acres or 11.6% of the entire City. The park system provides numerous year-round recreation opportunities including swimming, canoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing, ice skating, dirt bike course, golf, and disc golf, to name just a few. The City is also located within an easy access to over 34,000 acres of additional state and other publicly-owned lands within the County. The City boasts

2

over 27 miles of bike lanes within the City, making it an easy mode of transportation for residents and visitors alike. Furthermore, in 2003, Ann Arbor residents passed one of the most progressive open space millages in the United States, commonly referred to as the Greenbelt program. The millage funds are used to purchase additional parkland within the City, as well as, preserve open space and farmland within 8 townships, surrounding the City.

Arts and Culture: Ann Arbor hosts several annual events focused on performing and visual arts. One example, which began in 1960, is the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, a group of four award-winning art fairs that take place downtown every July. The Ann Arbor Art Fairs attract over 500,000 visitors to the area every year.

Furthermore, the City also has an appointed Public Art Commission, whose purpose is to encourage greater community awareness of, access to, and participation in the visual arts, which are an essential component of the vitality, health, and spirit of the community.

Food: Ann Arbor was recently named one of the best “Midwest Food Towns” by Midwest Living. In addition to the array of restaurants, the community also takes pride in its locally produced food. The City of Ann Arbor operates a Farmer’s market which features locally grown food, plants, prepared food items, and handcrafts, all sold by the people who make and grow them. The Farmer’s market is located in the historic Kerrytown District, in an open-air market. To learn more about the City of Ann Arbor, below is a list of local leaders to contact:

1. Mike Finney, Ann Arbor Spark, 734.761.9317, or [email protected] 2. Mary Kerr, Ann Arbor Visitor and Convention Bureau, [email protected] 3. Cynthia Wilbanks, Government Relations, University of Michigan, [email protected] 4. John Splitt, Chair, Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority, [email protected] 5. John Hieftje, Mayor, City of Ann Arbor, [email protected]

Site Location The site is located within the City’s Downtown Area, which is comprised of a diversity of land uses including living areas, places for work and study, activity places, and public facilities. It blends together the residents, students, employees, shoppers, merchants and entertainment goers that contribute to the year round vibrancy of downtown Ann Arbor. More specifically, the site is located just 2 blocks from the Main Street Business District and 3 blocks from State Street Business District, and the University of Michigan Central Campus. The Ann Arbor District Library is immediately adjacent to the south of the site. In 2007, the Ann Arbor District Library released an RFP for renovations of the library building. The project has been postponed, due to the economic downturn. For further information on the future renovations of the adjacent property click on their website at http://www.aadl.org/buildings/downtown. The AADL annually attracts over 600,000 visitors to the downtown library building and patron use is growing. The community’s central transit facility, the Ann Arbor Transit Authority (AATA) Blake Transit Center, is across the street, making the site very accessible to residents and employees living throughout the region. See Appendix B for specific site location. Site Characteristics The site is 1.2-acres, which is made up of tax parcel ID number 09-09-29-403-012.

In spring 2010, the City will begin construction of an underground parking structure on the site. The parking structure was designed to allow for future construction of a building or buildings on top of the structure. See section on “Development Specifications” below for details on the type of development that the site would be able to support. The City wishes to lease the property for development of the site in a manner that advances the City’s plans for the downtown, as well as, provide a financial return to the City. As part of the parking structure project, the Ann Arbor DDA will be installing a new 12” water main under both Fifth Avenue and Division Street, a new midblock alley and midblock street will be created, all storm water will be detained on site, and the electrical system on this block will have been completely redesigned. Adjacent to the site the Ann Arbor DDA will also be installing a new streetscape intended to make the area on Fifth and Division Streets more pedestrian friendly and attractive. This work will include bike lanes, new tree planters, sidewalk furniture, and pedestrian scale LED street lights. The site is located in the Downtown Development Authority District. Changes to the zoning of this and adjacent downtown properties are currently under consideration by City Council, as part of the Ann Arbor Discovering Downtown (A2D2) initiative to enhance the residential and commercial development. This site is located in the proposed D1, Downtown Core zoning district, which will allow for a mixture of residential, office and commercial uses. As currently proposed, the district will allow for a 400% floor area in percentage of lot area ratio (FAR), with the ability to expand to 700% FAR with the use of certain premiums. This district is intended to contain the downtown’s greatest concentration of development and serves as a focus for intensive pedestrian use. This district is appropriate for high-density mixed residential, office and commercial development. For the status of the proposed zoning code amendments, refer to the A2D2 project website at www.a2gov.org/a2d2.

The site is located within the “Midtown Character Area” overlay zone. The Midtown area is framed by the Main Street Character Area to the west, State Street Character to the east, East Huron Character to the north, and Liberty / Division Character Area to the south. The Midtown area of downtown has evolved greatly over the years, but also provides some of the greatest infill opportunities in the commercial core. Key objectives of this area are to 1.) provide a more strongly defined street edge, forming inviting pedestrian ways and provide open spaces; 2.) enhance links to adjacent areas; 3.) design sites to allow for pedestrian access to sun, air and views; 4.) provide a sense of visual continuity in building massing and building height transitions; and 5.) provide for active street fronts.

As part of the same A2D2 initiative, the City’s planning and development staff, Planning Commission and City Council are developing design guidelines for the downtown area that encourage high quality building design, prioritize the pedestrian experience, complement the recommended overlay zones, clearly illustrate the goals and standards for each requirement while being as objective as possible, and promote green building technologies. Projects should strive to meet these draft guidelines. Refer to the A2D2 project website above for further details.

Master Plan Goals

The City seeks to advance the goals of the Downtown Plan. The Downtown Plan's primary focus is Ann Arbor's 66-block Downtown Development Authority district. It is also concerned with relationships between downtown and the adjacent Central Area. The plan addresses a broad range of issues concerning downtown's future -- from land use priorities and parking management objectives to more detailed design guidelines for enhancing downtown's pedestrian orientation and identity as a place. For details on the plan http://www.a2gov.org/government/communityservices/planninganddevelopment/planning/Pages/MasterPlans.aspx.

Site Development Objectives A successful proposal must address all of the following site development objectives:

1. Beneficial use of the site. Any proposal for this site must demonstrate a clear benefit to the community and be consistent with the recommendations of the Downtown Plan, and A2D2 initiative. Preference will be given to proposals that incorporate a use (or uses) that provides a publicly available service to the community, for instance, building or open space that may be used for public meetings, recreation, or civic/ cultural events.

2. Environmental benefits. The development proposal should incorporate to the greatest extent possible environmentally sensitive design and energy efficiency features that follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. In addition, the project should propose innovative and environmentally friendly runoff water management and seek to improve water quality.

3. Financial return. The proposal must provide a positive financial return to the City. In the absence of other considerations, the City has a fiduciary responsibility to obtain fair market value upon the sale of City assets. Long-term lease or other property arrangements will be considered, but must meet this financial return criterion.

Development Specifications:

The site has been designed with flexibility for future development in mind. When completed, the underground parking structure shall be designed to support above ground development which could include, but is not limited to, a residential, retail, and/or office building(s) and a public plaza.

Additionally, the site has been planned to accommodate lateral expansion as well, if neighboring properties wish to pursue additional underground parking.

Selection Process The selection committee for this Request for Proposals will consist of representatives of City Council, City Planning Commission, Downtown Development Authority and citizens nominated and approved by City Council. The committee will have 5-9 members, and will be assisted by a team of City staff. The selection committee will initially evaluate responses to the RFP to decide which submitters, if any, it will interview. For the initial evaluation, the committee will not consider acquisition cost proposals. For this reason, the acquisition cost proposal must be separately submitted in a sealed and marked envelope. Before the interviews, the acquisition cost proposals of the submitters to be interviewed will be opened and reviewed. The selection committee then may schedule the interviews with the selected submitters. Interviews will be open to the public. The selected submitter(s) will be given the opportunity to discuss in more detail their qualifications, past experience, proposed work plan and acquisition proposal during the interview process. The interview shall consist of a presentation of approximately thirty (30) minutes by the submitter, including the person who will be the project manager on this contract, followed by approximately forty (40) minutes of questions and answers. Audiovisual aids may be used during the oral interviews. Following the presentation, the committee may request additional financial or project information. Interviewed submitters will be re-evaluated by the above criteria after the interview and ranked. The highest-ranked submitter will be recommended to City Council for the award of the proposal. The City may negotiate a mutually acceptable lease agreement with the highest ranked submitter. The City will determine whether the final scope of the project to be negotiated will be entirely as described in this RFP, a portion of the scope, or a revised scope. This agreement will not contain any assurances of any rezoning or site plan approvals necessary to complete the project. The selected submitter must secure necessary approvals and pay for all review fees necessary for the implementation of its proposal. The City will provide for a reasonable time in which to obtain such approvals before closing. If a lease agreement is not concluded, the City, at its sole option, may choose to initiate negotiations with any other qualified submitter, or reopen the entire process. The City reserves the right to not consider any proposal that it determines to be unresponsive and deficient in any of the information requested for evaluation. A proposal with all the requested information does not guarantee the proposing firm to be a candidate for an interview. The Committee may contact references to verify material submitted in the proposal. Reservation of Rights The City reserves the right to accept any proposal, to reject any or all proposals, to waive irregularities and/or informalities in any proposal and to make the award in any manner the City believes to be in its best interest.
